As a Broncos fan, Tom Flores is just one of those rivals you have to tip your hat to. He killed us everytime

Not a Raider Nation member, but this is long overdue. Tom not being in the hall was close to a crime, if not outright one

“Not to bad for a couple of grape pickers” is the most powerful line Ive heard from a Mexican American as my self. My great grandparents immigrated from Mexico to Indiana where they would pick cherries for cents on the dollar. They would tell stories of how disrespectful people would be towards them saying go back to your own country and calling them racist names to try and demoralize them. I am proud being a Mexican living in the best country in the world . I just wish sometimes people like Tom Flores and my grandparents would get more respect for their character instead of the being treated indifferently because the color of their skin and their accent and last name being different…

Tom Flores, Californian and Chicano. Mr. Cool, always calm and making the right decisions under pressure. Long over due honor. Four super bowl rings. Two as head coach, one as an assistant and one as a back up QB. Not bad for a grape picker.

Raider Nation baby. About time he gets in the hall of fame congrats Tom Flores one of the best coach we ever had.

Tom's enshrinement matters a lot to tens of millions of fans of us who watched him win Superbowls in Oakland and Los Angeles with class. Decades later, it still matters.

This was great! Seeing Tom Flores get up out of his chair to see his bust ... that would bring a tear to a glass eye. LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG overdue ... Tom should have went in AT LEAST 25 years ago!!!

Not a raiders fan but much respect to coach Flores, one of the best to do it.🇲🇽🇺🇸

Coach Flores is one of the most deserving to ever enter the HOF. Raider Nation stand proud!

Once a raider, ALWAYS A RAIDER!!

I'm 56 yrs old, a huge football fan and loved watching the Raiders back in the 70's and 80's, especially when they played the Steelers. Man, football was the greatest back then. While my favorite team wasn't the Raiders, I respected them just the same. Loved watching Ken Stabler as well, he was a great QB and then I saw Howie Long. I miss the old days of the NFL, too many rules and changes now but the memories will always be there. I got teary eyed when it was announced Tom was going in the hall. Tom should've been inducted into the HOF a long time before now. I'm glad he's finally inducted. Congratulations, Coach, it's well deserved but long overdue.

I think Tom Flores might have had the most entertaining speech for a 84 year old man that has to go to sleep at 9 lol he’s pretty funny 😄 🇺🇸🇲🇽

Only about 3 decades overdue

This had been long over due. Coach Flores is the 1st Latino QB in the NFL. The 1st Latino to win the Super Bowl as a player, assistant coach and head coach.

84 and forever years old and still with a great sense of humor.

Wow . When he said about not bad for being grapes pickers. That brings you down to tears. What a great human being and humble man Coach Flores is.. all respects

Coach Flores and Jim Plunkett are the reasons why I will always be a Raiders fan. I was an LA Rams fan as a kid before the Raiders moved to LA in 1981. When I saw two men that looked like me wearing that Silver and Black, I was an instant fan. They brought a Super Bowl Championship to LA in 1983, that team is my all time Raider team. Coach Flores, you have no idea how you impacted my life. RN4L...

About time! I'm a Mexican American from Central California. I grew up 30 min from where Tom grew up. This shows that us Latino men don't have to break our backs in in fields or doing hard labor- not that there's anything wrong with it. But we can do more! It's always good to see a successful Latino we can look up to!

Tom Flores is one of those men in the NFL, where you have to say: About damn time he's inducted into the Hall of Fame. Congratulations, Coach!

Thank you Tom , as a Brazilian fan of the raiders ,being from South America, you inspire me , first latino QB with a super bowl , first latino Coach and SB winner 2 times and one as assistant coach , amazing record as a coach , you got me crying , big inspiration and all the love for you , raider nation is proud and we thank you all you did for us!

Go Raiders, también un tributo a Al Davis... el gran pirata. Te amamos California.

As a 49er fan... All I have to say is... Its about damn time this man got into the hall. Waaaaaay overdue. Congrats coach!!!

He killed it tonight, I’m happy for Mr. Flores well deserved & GO RAIDERS 🤘🏽

Too long. Better late than never But never late is better. A true Legend Coach thank you for everything. I’m Mexican American and it makes me feel so much better that you are inducted in the hof now. Finally!! We can do it !!

Should of happened a long time ago but I'm glad coach Flores is in canton. Great day for raider Nation

Sanger ca. That's what I'm talking about. Go Sanger Apache!!!!

Congratulations my favorite Raiders coach, about FN time , now we need Plunkett, Branch, and Hayes

A legend! Coach Flores, as a Giants' fan I want to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. This was long over due.

Best speech by an honorable humble man

Im from chicago and grew up watching the bears early 80's till today.I aslo grew up loving the raiders.They alway's had something about them that i loved.I love coach and the guy's and alway's followed them as well.They would be my fav afc team of all time.Congrats coach,this was wayy long over due.Love live da raida nation !!

The first coach to win a Super Bowl on a Wild Card team with the 1980 Raiders Also coached the 1983 Raiders, the last AFC team to win a Super Bowl for 14 years

I grew up playing football in Tom Flores Stadium. I'm so glad he got in and was able to deliver his speech. Such a legend!

What a class act

Did it for the Raza ! 🇲🇽🇲🇽

El Gran Tom Flores, admirado en México buen estratega con los malosos Raiders

Look at that intensity from Howie long listening to his elders

Tom getting out his chair was so inspiring I teared up. Especially for his age to be honored it’s an honor to witness. Congrats Hall of Fame Coach!

I'm a 49ers fan, I *HATE* the Raiders, but being part Hispanic, this is a GREAT man and I grew up right down the street from Sanger, California. I coach against them in football and track every year, so I ALWAYS see "Tom Flores Stadium" multiple times a year. Congratulations Mr. Flores. ¡Se Puede!

When I think of alllllll the people whose careers started waaaay after this man's and how they ended up getting into the hof waaaay before him, it really pisses me off. The same can be said for numerous Raiders tbh. CONGRATS COACH FLORES!!!

Thank you Tom Flores... Your legacy of greatness will live on forever!

So good to see Flores in the Hall. A great coach and a wonderful man. I also hope Jim Plunkett makes it in someday! 👍

I'm crying like a little kid and I'm 50 yrs old, I'm latino and when we came to the U.S. in 1977 I fell in love with The Raiders. It feels like a family member is being enshrined, it means the world to Latinos nation wide and RaiderNation to finally see Tom in the H.O.F. We salute you champ🇸🇻🇲🇽💪🏽❤

I’m proud of you Tom

Hell yeah, My Grandpa went to High School with Tom Flores. They played together on the Basketball team. My Grandpa would love to see him enshrined. Congratulations Mr. Flores.

Took the NFL way too long to put this man in the Hall. RAIDER NATION IS STRONG! RAIDER NATION IS FOREVER!

Remember meeting Coach Flo in 08. Well deserved

It’s about time that Tom Flores was inducted into the Hall of Fame. It’s ridiculous that it took this long. At least he lived to see it for himself. Thank you Tom for those exciting Super Bowl victories and for all you have done for the game of football.

Deserved much for this!

Congrats Coach! Seeing you up there made me tear up a little. Go Raiders!

Tom Flores and Jimmy Johnson should have been the Hall a long time ago.

As a fan this is a guy that should of gotten in years ago. We need Plunkett next. The Raiders are the NFL's soul, and I'm a Colts fan. The league is SO much better when they matter.

Best coach ever!!! Long live Raider Nation!!

He was long overdue and he finally got in . Remember the writers had a vendetta against Ken Stabler and he got in after his death. Thank God Tom lived to be enshrined.

As a Latino living in Canada 🇨🇦 I am so happy he finally got enshrined. Tom Flores was the reason I became a Raider fan nearly 20 years ago.Thank You Tom! And, Thank You AL for being so forward thinking and ahead of your time.

Sanger , Fresno , Oakland , Los Angeles all shining bright !!!

I never knew Coach Flores's story! Awe inspiring ❤ 💗 💖 congratulations to a Raider legend

I’m getting so much emotions

Wooo from my home town of sanger California

God bless, Coach. For us in the Raider Nation, it's hard to see the old warriors struggle. But happy to see this day finally come.

From a fellow Mexican-American whose family worked the California farms & produce fields, “Felicitaciones, señor. Nos haces a todos muy orgullosos.” (Congratulations, Sir. You make us all very proud.)

Nothing, but love from a Niners fan. My parents were also Latino immigrants. Coach makes us all proud.

A long overdue honor! Congratulations coach Flores! Thank you for your decades representing Raider Nation and Hispanic culture.

Mr. Flores, thank you for being a Raider, and thank you for being an example to all Hispanics, we are proud that you represented us so honorably! Love you Sir!!! Go Raiders!!!!!!!!!!

Wow 84 years old!!! Great speech.....

Long overdue, made history first Hispanic to play QB in the NFL, first Hispanic to become an NFL Head Coach & first Hispanic Head Coach to win a SB. Won 4 SBs 1 as a player: KC Chiefs 1 as an Assistant Coach: Oakland Raiders 2 and a Head Coach: Oakland & LA Raiders Other person to do that Mike Ditka Next year Hopefully Jim Plunkett, Cliff Branch & Lester Hayes goes in the HOF as well!

From Sanger, California to Canton, Ohio. Long overdue. Congrats, coach. Si de pudo. Just Win, Baby! 🏴‍☠️

I'm A PROUD LIFE LONG STEELERS FAN & almost cried. Long overdue.

I was just a boy when Tom was the coach , now I am 55 and it brings a tear to my eye to see him finally get in. Way Over Due , As a player he has a SB, as an Asst he has a SB and as HC he has 2 SB'S . So glad he lived long enough to see it.

Tom Flores truly deserves to be in the pro football Hall of Fame, and long overdue at that.

You finally got in Coach!!! Congratulations!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 10 years overdue but finally you are in, you are an inspiration and a pioneer for Latino/minority coaches and players in professional sports....Felicidades!!!!

about time 🙏🏽🖤🙏🏽

Just like Jimmy Johnson, Kept scratching my head every year on why isn't Tome Flores in the NFL HOF. Super Bowl champ as a player, assistant coach, and head coach, much respect, it is about time!

Every single Raider in the HOF means a lot to me We are Family. The original “Nation” Raider Nation thank you 🙏 God Bless us all. Tom Flores 💪🏽🇺🇸🏈

Congratulation Tom Flores you deserve inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame head coach Los Angeles Raiders 1979 - 1987 and Seattle Seahawks 1992 - 1993 two Super Bowl championship 1980 and 1983 🏈

This was a complete disgrace that it took this long 🤦🏽‍♂️ RAIDER NATION 4 LIFE

As a Mexican American who also grew up in the Central Valley and who’s parents also emigrated from Mexico, I’m not crying, you’re crying.

Great speech, real & down to earth. Loved having him as a coach. Congrats Tom Flores

Glad Tom Flores is in the HOF. But Man, it took soooo long.

The only thing more overdue than Tom's HOF induction is Mark Davis visiting a competent barber.

Whenever someone asks me why I'm a raider fan I always say it's because I was born and raised in sanger ca. Growing up hearing about the iceman and having his niece as a teacher, I think being a Raider fan was inevitable and I'm trying to explain to my kids the significance. Salute to Tom Flores and everyone who represents the little guys.

Much deserved.

2021 NFL HALL OF FAMER TOM FLORES
